Don't bother.
The temperature of the air entering the filter under hood is pretty near ambient (just a few degrees). This is from data acquisition, not just speculation. It's also from multiple tests. Lew Shadoff from the SE-R Mailing List checked this as did one of the Kiwis here (sorry, I cannot remember who - I just woke up and am lucky I remember who I am
). Some folks on the Porsche 944 mailing list did the same thing and got the same results.
The power from a CAI is almost entirely due to the resonance (sp?) of the pipe, not the temperature of the air entering the filter.
